IMPROVEMENT IN PORTABLE SUMMER-FURNACES.

'lhe Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and makingv parl: of lthe same.

To whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, JAMES H. LYON, WILSON AGER, DANIEL BREED, and VILLIAM H. SEAMAN, of \Vashington, District of Columbia, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsv in Portable Kitchen-lllurnaces; and -we hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, refercnee'being had to the accompanying drawings, and letters of reference marked thereon.

In the accompanying drawings- Figure l is a perspective view of our improved furnace.

.Figure 2 is a side view of the same, with the smokehood attached.

Figure 3 is a detached view of a flat ring used with our furnace.

. Figure 4 is a griddle, fitted to the furnace.

O ur improvements consist of certain novel arrangements in the construction of portable summer-furnaces.

Our improved furnace is intended chiefly for use upon a common stove during warm weather, when it is desirable to use but little fuel. The furnace may be set into the hole of a common stove, like a k'ettle, and `the ire made in the furnace, either with charcoal or other fuel, as desired.

In the construction of our new furnace, the body A and the grate B better be cast separately when the furnace is to-be used-for hard coal, though they may be cast in one piece if desired.

On the top of the furnace are placed two removable and adjustable rings, C, for supporting the kettle. These rings have draught-openings, c, which may be opened 0r closed at pleasure, by turning the outer ring upon the inner one.

A third ring,D, is placed on the rings C, for recel-ving smaller kettl'es or vessels.

Also, a griddle, E, may be usedfor 'broiliug meat, or supporting pans or other vessels not requiring great heat. l

Above this griddle is placed a smoke-hood, F, provided with a pipe, j, for conducting the Smoke into the lire, instead of allowing the same to` escape into the room, which is very offensive.

fixen all the rings are removed, and a very small fire employed, the kettle may rest upon the projections g, so as to allow air to enter under the kettle.
